Student Research at Mac

One of the hallmarks of a Macalester education is a strong, well-rounded academic experience that prepares students to make change in the world. For many Macalester students, this experience includes working directly with faculty members on cutting-edge research and creative scholarship projects. The Office of Student Research and Creativity (OSRC) is the launch pad for students looking to pursue these opportunities and discover how Macalester can support them in bringing their ideas to life.
